the strange hat on his hat stand and on

was strange crest. The green-eyed

The young scion Of nobility immedi-
ately grasped the situation, having
himself to travel home in strange hat,
and kept up the joke BY sending the
enraged husband a solicitors letter,
charging him with stealing the initiated
hat from the cloak room Of the House

tie it Immediately dawned on the elder

made a mistake, and he forthwith
made q personal apology.

seventy-nine railways on July I. 1886,

methods Of testing were chiefly the Still
ling method (by means Of color plates)
and the Holmgren method (by means
Of colored wooden threads); but the
Daae, COIN, Schmidt and Rimpler
methods were also adopted. In 16, 2O1
cases the test was repeated, and sos

Where tho Cigar got its Name.


The origin o. the word cigar il Of
some interest and IS not to be found in
the ordinary dictionaries. The word,
of course, is Spanish, and Littre IN his
French dictionary says that It is derived
from cigarra, the Spanish name for
grasshopper. When the Spaniards first
oduced tobacco into Spain from the
Island Of Cuba. in the sixteenth century,
they cultivated the plant in their gar
dens. which in Spanish are called
|cigarrales. Each grew his tobacco IN
his cigarral and rolled it up for smoking
as he had learned from the Indians ii
the West Indies. When one offered d
smoke to q friend he could say: .sEs de
mi ciggaral 1t is from my garden.
Soon the expression came to be. Este
cigarroes de mi cigarral this cigar.is
from my garden. And from this the
word cigar spread over the world. The
name cigarral for garden comes from
cigarra, a. grasshopper, that insect
being very common in Spain, and
cigarral meaning the place where the
cigarra sings. IN this way the word
cigar comes from cigarra, the name Of
the insect, not because it resembles the
body OF the grasshopper, but because it
was grown in the place it frequents.

The Noble Womanhood Into Which They

Nice as mostg girls are, they are not all
of the kind to make matrimony state.
of bliss and husbands content with
their lot. For in this thickly -thronged
field of girlhood are the peeyish and the
contradictions, the selfish and the ex-
travagant, the idle aud the careless, the
jealous and the unloving, the stupid and
the obstinate, the firts who encourage
unseemly attentions, and the future
mothers who will think their children
so many hindrances to pleasure, and
who will not have in their hearts either
human love or animal instinct for their
young. The heaven is not always all
pure blue flowers are not all perfect
and fragrant; and humanity is like the
rest of nature beautiful and love-
worthy, then most delightful-when
hacked and scanned and marred, then
not by any means delightful! But on
the whole the choice girls far outnum-
Der those who are not choice. The
elders of the generation may not like
this new folly and that fresh affectation
but those elders must remember that
each new generation makes its own
shibboleths, has its own fashions. and
that youth must needs be foolish, else it
would not be youth at all. That pump.
handle shake is hideous and ungrace-.
full; so are those aggressive elbows stuck
out at right angles from the shoulders
to the hip; SO is that silly fashion Of
quasi-masculinity in dress; and worse
than foolish is the afectation of manly
thought and freedom from feminine
modesties of manly license and alb
sence of feminine restraints. But all
this effervesence willswork off in time
and leave the golden liquid clear and
sweet--until another fermentation sets
in, with the same process of running
clear when it is over. Our grave gram
nies-our sweet mothers we ourselves,
now grannies and mothers to the pres
ent young have all had the afectations
and follies OF youth in our time. Let
US then be patient with our girls, and
lovingly confident of the noble woman

come. London Queen.
